Grapefruit sugar scrub is a homemade skin care recipe, made with real food ingredients; grapefruit juice, honey, sugar, and grapeseed oil. You probably wouldn’t want to eat it, but the ingredients are edible, non-toxic, and safe!

This sugar scrub recipe came in my swag bag, along with lots of other cool goodies, from the BlogHer Food convention in Miami a couple weeks ago. I love to exfoliate my skin in the summer months to keep a healthy, radiant glow. It’s also a great way to prep your skin for sunless tanning lotions. You don’t want to end up with embarrassing streaks…uh…been there, done that. The grapeseed oil makes this scrub a pretty green color and moisturizes for soft, smooth skin. You can also soak your hands in this mixture for brighter nails.

Trust me, this grapefruit sugar scrub recipe is one you’ll want to make often.

Hi Julia! Yes, you probably used a more refined grapeseed oil. I used an organic grapeseed oil that had a beautiful, bright green color. A good quality grapeseed oil will have a high chlorophyll content and a nuttier flavor.

You don’t actually need to refrigerate it, just make sure that it’s stored in an airtight container. If water gets into the mixture, then mold can grow. It should keep for several weeks, even a couple of months stored properly. Just do the good old smell test if you think it may be rancid.
